Summary · why it matters

Shares of Delek U.S. rallied 6% on Thursday after a fire broke out at the Trainer refinery in Pennsylvania, which is owned by Monroe Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines. The Trainer facility is a key supplier of jet fuel, and its potential downtime could tighten supply and boost margins for competing refiners like Delek, which derives a high percentage of its revenue from jet fuel. Delek also holds a 63% stake in Delek Logistics Partners, valued at about $1.7 billion, representing 58% of Delek's market capitalization. The company had already seen elevated profits this year due to global supply disruptions from conflicts involving Iran and Russia.
